Hello and welcome to my video on layer mask and adjustment layers. This is going to be a very comprehensive tutorial and will as an introduction and also hopefully to provide some useful tips and techniques for those who are already familiar to layer mask. To begin I would like to discuss what layer mask actually is and start with a simple analogy. Let’s say you have a sheet of paper with some printed text. It could be a page from a book or just something, you printed on your computer. Now let say you want to hide all the text on the page except for one particular paragraph so you take another sheet of paper that is blank and lay it over the print sheet. This blank sheet of paper is our mask since it hides or masks the printed sheet underneath. Then you cut a hole in the mask where the paragraph you want to reveal is located. Now someone looking at the paper will only see the one paragraph because the rest of the test is hidden by the mask. In much the same way, we can use layer mask to hide or mask certain parts of a layer. Now this is a very simple description and a very powerful tool and you’ll see as we go through this tutorial just how versatile and useful layer mask really are.

This is part of a series of posts, you can read the rest of it by clicking on the links for the Table of Contents at the top of this post.
